| Side by Side Comparison | |
Features
- Precision pulsed current to 3A specifically for laser diodes
- Clean current pulses with fast rise times (<50nS) and low overshoot (<5%)
- Built-in laser diode protection
- Adjustable pulse width, duty cycle, and frequency to 1MHz
- User-selectable pulse polarity
- Accepts external trigger to control pulses and provides a trigger to initiate corresponding measurements
- GPIB/IEEE-488 interface
Careful attention to design for clean pulses at laser diode load levels provides a low noise pulsed current with fast rise times while maintaining overshoot of less than 5%. Testing and characterization can be automated with the 3840B through the GPIB/IEEE interface. For basic system integration, a trigger can be used to control pulses and initiate corresponding measurements without a command program.
Like all ILX Lightwave laser diode control instruments, the LDP-3840B incorporates laser diode protection and safety features such as current limits, output shorting circuits, AC line filters, and double-shielded transformers to help suppress laser damaging transients.
